Instead your first step should be running wnpp-alert and helping maintain a
package you already have installed. If you are lucky enough to have nothing
reported by wnpp-alert or just can't help there, rc-alert is also a good
place to start. Both of these tools should be better publicized.
New packages are fine, but there seems to be a constant need for more
maintainers of the packages that already exist.
